Roots/Twin screw heat soak?

[71RS/SS396]

How quickly it heat soaks has a lot to due with how much water is being flowed through the intercooler and how hard you're spinning the blower. We've been testing this on a dyno and have found some blowers will heat soak in 3 pulls on the dyno because the intercoolers are so restrictive to water flow. I can tell you a 4.0L whipple intercooler can be modified to flow 20 gpm.

Yes, Kurt said that -12 fittings on that 4.0 intercooler helped stabilize the IAT for that 427ci project he is building. The pulley setup he came up with, looks pretty damn good, too.

Makes me wonder why blower mfgs wont make them flow enough at first place?

Cost, most likely.

Can you post any info how you do it ? Or is it option if such blower is bought from you?

This part of a complete engine package we are in development of, we are using an external mechanical pump to push that volume of water through it.
